The Loft on Pine Wedding in Long Beach - Danielle + Nick

I was soaked in Danielle and Nick’s depth of emotions all day at The Loft on Pine last October. They have the most supportive group of friends and family members who genuinely care and love them and it was so amazing to witness and feel it all. You can have a lot of people around you in life but it’s hard to have that many people who equally love you and mean well from bottom of their hearts. Danielle and Nick’s wedding truly showed whom they’re surrounded with and I had so much fun documenting every second of it; simply filled with pure euphoria and celebration of love.

Please enjoy some of my favorite images including a few portraits! (While I think I’m pretty good at capturing moments and telling stories, the genius Brett has taught and assisted me on making some amazing portraits with the couple with a tight wedding timeline.)

Walnut Grove Wedding - Candice + Warren

Oh.... Candice and Warren... <3

Their wedding day started with Dodgers and ended with In-N-Out burgers. Ladies, forget the cute bathrobes or Kimonos when you put on make-ups and do hairs on your wedding day; here goes a customized Dodgers T-shirt (with your name in the back) for everyone and after your wedding, who doesn't want to walk in In-N-Out in your wedding dress? It was the cutest moment I've witnessed. And since then, it's become my ritual to eat In-N-Out burgers (or at least McDonald's lettuce wrapped BigMac) after photographing a wedding 10-12 hours nonstop. It's the best.

I love how Warren makes Candice laugh and how she makes him a little more emotional. Candice is the most chill and fun friend/bride you can ask for, and Warren is someone who would watch your back and make sure you're well. And oh boy, can they DRINK!? Every time we hung out, we drank and talked about food; and engagement session and wedding were no exception. (No wonder we get along so well!) In fact, that's how Candice and Warren first met - they were "drinking buddies" in a marathon team with their mutual friends. I don't know anyone else who drinks as much as they do but then stays active and fit (they do serious stuff too - marathon is no joke and mountain hiking is just another one). They constantly inspire me to enjoy and live your life and I'm so happy to share some of my favorite images from their wedding. The couple got ready at Westlake Village Inn while the ceremony and party were at Walnut Grove.

St. Francis Episcopal Church & Palos Verdes Golf Club Wedding - Sarah + Ryan

Last summer, Sarah cried or looked like she was crying when we said bye to each other after her wedding reception ended. She later wrote, " I see you like a friend and can I honestly tell you it makes me sad that we don't get to hang out now?" Sarah and Ryan live in Chicago, and it's amazing how much I get to know two complete strangers and be able to connect with them, their close friends and family on wedding day, which is why I love weddings so much; it's like a summary of who you are, where you came from, who you're surrounded.

Here are some of my favorites; their ceremony was held at St. Francis Episcopal Church in beautiful Palos Verdes and the reception was at Palos Verdes Golf Club.
